In case the pairing actually works but we still fail to resolve the services you can create a custom plugin that upon detecting it is this specific device generates a proper SDP record and add HID UUID via btd_device_add_uuid. -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
